Kamen Rider Beetleborg

The Beetleborg Zecter allows Drew McCormick to transform into Kamen Rider Beetleborg. As with all of the Zecters, Beetleborg has two basic forms that he can transform into.

• Height: 190cm
• Weight: 132kg
• Punching Power: 8t
• Kicking Power: 10t
• Maximum Jump Height: 20m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100m/8.9s

Beetleborg's Masked Form is a heavily armored form resembling a pupa with low offensive capabilities. This is the default form that Beetleborg transforms into, until he flips the "horn" on the Beetleborg Zecter, like a switch, to initiate the Cast Off command. This primes the armor to "Cast Off," when fully activated, sends the armor flying off his form, destroying all lower Worms that get hit with the armor. Beetleborg then immediately takes on the sleek Rider Form. It is shown to be possible for Masked Form to be bypassed altogether, as seen in episode 21, by flipping the horn immediately after placing the Beetleborg Zecter on the belt before the armor materializes. When switches the horn on the Beetleborg Zecter back to it's original state it will initiate Put On where all of the extra armour retaches to him, returning him to Masked Form.

"Cast Off! Change Beetle!"

―Transformation announcement

• Height: 195cm
• Weight: 95kg
• Punching Power: 3t
• Kicking Power: 7t
• Maximum Jump Height: 37m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100m/5.8s
• Rider Kick Finisher: 19t

Beetleborg's Rider Form is the sleeker & more offensive-based form which resembles more of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle which Beetleborg is named & themed after. In this form, Beetleborg has access to the Clock Up command, enabling Beetleborg to travel at near-light speeds to match the speeds of the Worms. By pressing the three buttons on the belt in succession, Beetleborg can perform his tachyon-powered Rider Kick. Beetleborg's Rider Form has three variations of the Rider Kick: a normal 180 degree roundhouse kick, a counter kick (360 degree roundhouse kick, which is used to surprise opponents who attempt to attack him from behind), & a flying side kick.

"Hyper Cast Off! Change Hyper Beetle!"

―Transformation announcement

• Height: 198cm
• Weight: 102kg
• Punching Power: 10t
• Kicking Power: 15t
• Maximum Jump Height: 50m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4.2
• Rider Kick Finisher Power: 30t

Beetleborg is the only Rider in Beetleborg (with the exception of Boron in episode 21 with the aid of another Hyper Zecter from the future) that can achieve Hyper Form, an even stronger version of Rider Form. While Kamen Rider Atlurborg stole the Hyper Zecter, he was unable to access a Hyper Form. Accessed through the Hyper Zecter, a futuristic Zecter made by ZECT & predestined to be used by Drew, it initiates the Hyper Cast Off command, unleashing its full power. It also has access to Hyper Clock Up, a version of Clock Up, able to even time travel due to its faster-than-light speed properties.

The maximum range of this is currently unknown, but its shown to be able to travel back at least seven years. Beetleborg is also able to take objects back in time along with him, (the most impressive example being a huge meteor). His finisher is the flying Hyper Kick. Even though the original Hyper Zecter from the present was destroyed by ZECT to prevent Drew from obtaining it, another from the future appeared to replace it. He is also equipped with a jetpack-like device on his back, allowing Beetleborg flight capabilities, though usually it's only used to gain height for the Hyper Kick. But his alternate self used this device to fly through space, even pushing a meteor far larger than himself.

Final Form Ride

"Final Form Ride: B-B-Beetleborg!"

―Transformation announcement

Zecter Kabuto

Kamen Rider DCD's Final FormRide allows Kabuto to change into Zecter Beetleborg, a giant version of the Beetleborg Zecter that flies and can be ridden by DCD. It is able to burrow underground.

KamenRide: Kabuto

Decade as Kabuto

• FormRide Card
  • Kabuto Masked: Decade transforms into Kamen Rider Kabuto Masked Form. This card is not used in the series, but in the S.I.C Hero Saga side story, Masked Rider Decade: World of Stronger where Decade uses this card to protect himself from Delza Army General Steel's steel shaft. Unlike the other Form Ride Cards, this card transforms Decade into the default form of the Rider instead of a mid-upgraded form.
• Final KamenRide Card: When Kamen Rider Decade is in his Complete Form, he uses the K-Touch to summon the Final Forms of the Nine Heisei Riders. After he presses the Rider's symbol, a card of that Rider's Final Form appears in a set of nine on Kamen Rider Decade's chest. The Kabuto Hyper card summons Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form. Using the Kabuto Final AttackRide card allows Decade to execute a double Hyper Kick or a Maximum Hyper Cyclone (armed with the Perfect Zector in Gun Mode) alongside Kabuto Hyper Form. Also used by default form Decade to transform into Decade Kabuto Hyper Form in SIC Hero Saga, World Of Stronger to fight Stronger Charge Up Form, but was defeated. Also used again by Decade Complete to fight Stronger Charge Up Form but unfortunately beaten by Stronger Charge Up' Super Stronger Electric Kick.

• AttackRide Cards: These cards allow Decade to perform any of their own attacks, Decade is also able to use any signature attacks of whatever Kamen Rider he has transformed into.

    • When this attack is used in Kabuto form, Kabuto Zecter's voice will be played. But Decadriver's voice will be played insteads if Tsukasa stays in his Decade form.
    • Hyper Clock Up : As Kabuto Hyper Form, Decade is able travel at near light speeds, allowing him to travel forward or backward through time. This card is not shown in the TV series, but is used in the S.I.C Hero Saga side story published in Hobby Japan magazine.
